[CentOS] CentOS 4.5 - mounting remote windows fileserver using smb or cifs
Hi I need to mount a windows share on a CentOS 4.5 box running stock kernel etc - I have tried using cifs and also smbfs My fstab looks like //share/name/mount/pointsmbfs username=user,password=password,uid=useridhere 0 0 or the same using cifs When i try and mount that i get the following errors depending on the share type smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22 i would have thought that cifs was the way forward but any ideas? These use creds are being used on an ancient 7.3 box and they work fine thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This works for me... In /etc/fstab:- //share/name/mount/point cifs _netdev,credentials=/etc/samba/cred.txt 0 0 In the credentials file:- username=your-windows-user password=XXX Make sure the credentials file is owned by root and only readable by root.

So for me using smbfs and DOMAIN\username works thanks ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
